Statement
There's such unique beauty in all Hispanic cultures. I illustrated this artwork to show how relationships involve two people growing together in love, happiness, strength, and culture. Many relationships and cultures are different, such as each flower represented. The diverse flowers represent the strength, beauty, and different achievements each Hispanic culture has achieved. By illustrating me and my significant other, I wanted to show the intertwining and strength of Hispanic culture.
